Pye Corner Audio

2017 was a big year for Pye Corner Audio man Martin Jenkins. For starters, he released a string of fine EPs and collaborations, most of which explore the dark and sludgy experimental style he's arguably most famous for pursuing. "Island of Ghosts", though, is a little different. Aimed firmly at club DJs, it sees Jenkins lay down a series of seriously heavy dancefloor workouts. He begins with the intoxicating, exotic melodies, ragged acid lines and punchy electro beats of "Greenpoint Hangover", before diving head first into the world of acid house/techno fusion on trippy throb-job "Industrial Rituals". Flip to the B-side for the razor-sharp acid lines, murky aural textures and hypnotic techno beats of "Island of Ghosts" and a thrillingly pitched-up, Braindance style remix of "Greenpoint Hangover" by Finnish electro stalwarts Morphology.
